Storm hampers rescue of victims in Brooklyn

A building collapse in Brooklyn has resulted in eight fatalities and 18 injuries, with rescue efforts hampered by an approaching storm. Authorities are concerned about the possibility of a second collapse and are searching for survivors among the debris. The incident occurred in Flatbush, where a three-story mixed-use building fell onto an adjacent construction site. Among the injured are three firefighters, with four in critical condition. The storm is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds, complicating rescue operations as teams race against time to find potential survivors. Investigations into the cause of the collapse are ongoing.
